When I met him on a sidewalkHe was preaching to a mailboxDown on 16th AvenueAnd he told me he was JesusSent from Jupiter to free usWith a bottle of tequila and one shoeHe raged about repentanceHe finished every sentenceWith a promise that the end was close at handI didn't even try to understandHe left me wide eyed in disbelief and disillusionI was tongue tied, drawn by my conclusionsSo I turned and walked awayAnd laughed at what he had to sayThen casually dismissed him as a fraudI forgot he was created in the image of my God

When I met her in a bookstoreShe was browsing on the first floorThrough a yoga magazineAnd she told me in her past lifeShe was some plantation slave's wifeShe had to figure out what that might meanShe believes the healing powers of her crystalsCan bring balance and new purpose to her lifeSounds nice

She left me wide eyed in disbelief and disillusionI was tongue tied, drawn by my conclusionsSo I turned and walked awayAnd laughed at what she had to sayThen casually dismissed her as a fraudI forgot she was created in the image of my God

Not so long ago, a man from GalileeFed thousands with His bread and His theologyAnd the truth He spokeQuickly became the jokeOf educated, self-inflated Pharisees like me

And they were wide eyed in disbelief and disillusionThey were tongue tied, drawn by their conclusionsWould I have turned and walked awayAnd laughed at what He had to sayAnd casually dismissed Him as a fraudUnaware that I was staring at the image of my God
